And presumably she lacked the imagination to google "spirit bear".

They have supporters in South America, Ferraz being one, but don't have the money to translate their stuff into all the relevant languages. So I suspect Ms. Gudic, like Mr. Ferraz, signed up to speak on protecting the bear without understanding that what threatened the bear's habitat, and what they were specifically speaking against, was Northern Gateway.<br /><br />Knowing Corbella, I bet she did nothing to help clarify. And it would be interesting to find out how many people she contacted before she found two people who didn't, at the time, make the connection.bigcitylibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081538803991095825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-62535219120003799382012-01-12T17:57:32.754-05:002012-01-12T17:57:32.754-05:00Maybe the main problem is that Corbella is ignoran...Maybe the main problem is that Corbella is ignorant of the danger posed by the pipeline to the Spirit Bears? I don't know much about that myself though I can use google, unlike her.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermode_bear#Habitat<br /><br />I've certainly seen various ignorant comments by people who have no idea of what environments the pipeline is going to go through and what effects it will probably have when it is built and when it spills.Holly Stickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137842937086115228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-36912683956171066512012-01-12T14:21:07.745-05:002012-01-12T14:21:07.745-05:00Fantastic work, BCL.
